WE pick up our new Wild Wood 27 REI today. I know it does not have a king size bed. But it has a few good things like a fire place and a kitchen island with two slides. We got it for what we liked in a floor plan. And we could not beat the deal that was offered to us.
Congrats on your new home. You will love the opposing slides as it opens up the floor plan sooo much. I see there is also a real door to the bedroom too, something my wife likes in our unit because I get up earlier than she does. Clothing storage is a little lacking but you will manage. Enjoy your new trailer.
We on here talk about tow vehicles a lot because we have been there and done that and the tow vehicle matters in the whole experience of RVing. Your new rig is 7400 lbs and loaded you will be 8000 or more so that means a tongue weight of 840 lbs or a bit more even. Your TV needs a rear axle rating to handle this plus everything you carry in the TV, you, the wife, the dog, gas.....etc. and a payload rating to handle all of the tongue weight and TV contents. Figure out the gross combined vehicle weight....go to the scales when you are all loaded up to go camping and find out your real numbers.
The trailer is only half of the combination and a well matched combo will only make the total experience that much more pleasurable.
